Doctor of Business Administration (DBA)

Our Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program is a professional doctorate designed for experienced professionals seeking to enhance their knowledge and skills in the field of business administration. The DBA program differs from a traditional PhD in that it focuses more on applied research and the practical application of business theories rather than advancing theoretical knowledge.

The curriculum of a DBA program combines advanced business courses with research and dissertation components. The coursework covers a wide range of subjects, including strategic management, business and management research, financial management, business strategy, business analytics, strategic marketing, corporate governance and international business, corporate social responsibility and human resource management.

One of the key components of a DBA program is the research component. DBA students apply advanced analytics and research methodologies to complex business challenges and provide for practical business solutions. They are required to conduct independent research in their area of interest or expertise.
